Former CIA Director John Brennan told the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday that Russia "brazenly interfered in the 2016 election process," despite U.S. efforts to warn them off. Brennan testified in an open session of the committee, one of a handful of congressional committee now investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Brennan said he told his Russian counterpart, the head of Russia's FSB, last August that if Russia pursued its efforts to interfere, "it would destroy any near-term prospect for improvement in relations" between the two countries. He said Russia denied any attempts to interfere.
In his opening statement, Brennan also recounted how he had briefed congressional leaders in August of last year, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees about the "full details" of what he knew of Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Brennan said he became convinced last summer that Russia was trying to interfere in the campaign, saying "they were very aggressive."
Brennan said he is "aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between Russian officials and U.S. persons involved in the Trump campaign." Brennan said that concerned him, "because of known Russian efforts to suborn such individuals," and that it raised questions about whether or not the Russians "were able to gain the cooperation of those individuals." Brennan added he didn't know if "collusion existed" between the Russians and those he identified as involved in the Trump campaign.

I recall there was extensive US meddling in the Republic of Georgia elections.
does no one remember when Illegals did not vote because they could lose their Mexican citizenship? The President just told them they could vote in both countries with out consequence from Mexico.
Gowdy sort of asked without mentioning any names.
Isn’t that so convenient. To hide behind classified information.
Now is this guy Brennan a Muslim?
October 2016
Obama discredits Trump’s claims of “election rigging”
Tells him to “stop whining”
Maybe Brennan forgot to brief the prez about warning the aggressive Russians
Maybe the prez was lying to us

I bet he tip-toed around that answer!
Did he give one concrete example of just how the Russians interfered in the election? Is merely referring to a supposed event the the same as confirming the event?
“I have personally seen evidence of collusion between Trump and muh Russians while I was fabrica... I mean examining it. What? You want to see it? No, sorry, it doesn’t work that way. I tell you about it, and you impeach.”
- Imam Brennan
Do you mean the Mexican President told his illegals in America to vote here and again in Mexico with no legal problems.
Not necessarily illegals but there was a problem if they voted here they could not vote there. So he changed it so that it didn't matter. I was in California at the time just don't remember exactly anymore even if I thought I did. Mexico has been interfering in our elections since Ike died.
Brennan will be a jumper before years end.
Hey what is MUH russia? They always say that on the Donald. Makes me laugh but i dont know what it means
“Brennan will be a jumper before years end.”
Brennan needs to very afraid of the good CIA field agents and spec ops, he pissed off with his pro jihadist bs including have a prayer room at the CIA.
He is a high danger to the Obama/Clinton thugs and their jihadist allies. They are afraid that he might start talking about his relations with ISIS and other jihadist killers in America and around the world.
Only Obama and maybe Clinton know what illegal bs this thug did against his enemies like Egypt, Israel, Jordan and us.
“Ask this muzzie bastard about the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration of the 0bama regime, INCLUDING HIM!”
Send him to Egypt to discuss what this killer and his thugs did to that country to help his Muslim Brotherhood Killers.
